A car uses one litre of petrol for every 14km. If one litre of petrol cost ₦63.00, how far can the car go with ₦900.00 worth of petrol?
Answer Details
To solve this problem, we need to first find out how many litres of petrol we can buy with ₦900.00, and then use that to calculate how far the car can go. We know that one litre of petrol costs ₦63.00, so we can divide ₦900.00 by ₦63.00 to find out how many litres we can buy: ₦900.00 ÷ ₦63.00 = 14.29 litres (rounded to two decimal places) So we can buy 14.29 litres of petrol with ₦900.00. Next, we need to use the information given to calculate how far the car can go with 14.29 litres of petrol. We are told that the car uses one litre of petrol for every 14km, so we can multiply 14.29 litres by 14km to find out how far the car can go: 14.29 litres x 14km = 200.06km (rounded to two decimal places) Therefore, the car can go 200.06km with ₦900.00 worth of petrol. So the correct answer is: 200km (rounded to the nearest kilometre).
